What do you think of the name...

[LouiseB]

... Daphne?

It sounds quite nice when i say it, i pronounce it more Daff-ni rather than Daff-nee.

Not very common at all and although slightly American-esque i think nice... although hubby wasn't too keen and placed it 4th in the baby girl list - not a no, not a yes.

I like it. I knew a girl called Daphne at primary school and I always thought what a nice name it was. She was nice too which probably helped matters

It's not very common but I think it's cute yet sophisticated. Gets the thumb up from me x

 

[cosmicgirl]

I like it (I like Daphne on Frasier!) sounds like a pretty little girl in a floral dress (I don't know why) xx

 

[LouiseB]

wow 100% like, that's a record for one of my names

 

[Princess81]

It's def nice Louise. If it goes nicely with your surname I'd put it near the top of your list x

 

[Iriki]

That's lovely. Really like it!

I think of that group Daphne & Celeste who sing that song "oooooh stick you, your Mama too and your DADDY!"

And Daphne in Scooby Doo x

Awww love that song! Lol x

 

[Princess81]

oh thanks, I have that in my head now

I also thought of Daphne of scooby doo and Daphne who was in neighbours about a million years ago x

 

[pinkymum]

I'm in two minds about it. I also think of Daphne from frasier and she's sweet. Is it a French name?

 

[Piglet's Mama]

Haha! Sorry girls x

 

[TiffanyJaynexo]

I definitely think of Scooby Doo when I hear that name.
I do a great impression of Scooby too!

It's a lovely name. xxx

 

[Cantstop]

It makes me think of the old lady from Eggheads then Scooby Doo. Nice though. All names initially remind me of someone but if for example I met someone's daughter called Daphne it would then just remind me of them.

 

[LouiseB]

I could only think of Scooby Doo, oh and the lady in Fraiser (who is slightly annoying?)

Hiya. Thats so funny you came up with it, my husband added it to our list when we found out this time!

Unfortunately I already have a friend called Daphne. One of my posh horsey friends and we all call her Daffy. But it works well with her 3 barrelled surname

I personally think its lovely, really classical. To me its an elegant greek goddess (or was she a wood nymph?) anyway, its got elegance because its a really old name but not used that much.

If I had to think of famous Daphne's then Daphne De Maurier comes to mind first, then Daphne from Neighbours (gives away my age!).

 

[Princess81]

I temper Daphne from
Neighbours and I'm still in my twenties (just) lol x

 

[Princess81]

**remember - bloody phone!

 

[star fish]

Good greif, didnt she die in the 80's?

I remember she was married to Des and he was devastated. I think she'd just given birth to a baby. Was it called Jamie? Not sure

 

[Princess81]

I remember Des but not the baby, or her dying they lived in Karl kennedys house didn't they? Like before the kennedys lived there Obvs lol

In Scent of a Woman he calls the Air Stewardess Daphne 'cos she's English and wears a Floral perfume (Yardley, I think).
